10 Quotes by Doug Stoffel

Because of the efforts the players needed a little kick in the pants after the match. Hopefully it woke them up a bit.

For us, our goals lie in the regular season. Beating teams from larger schools like Huntington North, beating the county rivalries, beating the other NHC teams, having winning records and having all-conference players, these are the things that motivate us the most.

Overall, I was very happy with our level of play.

Sure, it would be nice to have sectional crowns, but realistically we are honest about playing Homestead. Obviously, the other teams in our sectional face the same situation as we do, so we judge ourselves on how we do against other teams, not Homestead.

This team is young and I think we are starting to learn how to weather the storms better.

Our doubles were the first off the courts. It's great to see a good team effort.
